Let's face it, nobody goes to fancy restaurants just because they're hungry. A successful fine dining restaurant is equal parts food, service, and design. So began the business seminar on holistic restaurant and hotel design led by Adam Tihany, the Picasso of restaurant interior design, and restaurant developer Elizabeth Blau, whose work over the past two decades has redefined the culinary landscape of Las Vegas. Moderated by StarChefs.com Managing Editor Will Blunt, Tihany and Blau shared their experiences working with chefs, such as Heston Blumenthal and Jean-Georges Vongerichten, and detailed the evolution of Las Vegas, which has transformed from a sand to sea gaming mecca and to a family-oriented outre-Disney World to "a truly vibrant American city," according to Tihany. Tihany and Blau opened up the floor to questions from the participants, including a group of design students from Parsons The New School, which generated lively debate on competing aesthetics in restaurant, hotel, and casino design, and the future of casino and hotel design in Asia.
